ABSTRACT:
A software tool enables a software developer to quickly access, report and modify data. This tool allows the user to open a file, and read, write, update and delete records in that file. The user is also able to search for a string of as many as thirty ASCII characters, as well as to perform the search in hex, decimal or binary. A user can change occurrences of one string to another string. The contents of a file can easily be displayed and printed in either ASCII, hex, decimal or binary. One can also alter the contents of a file in ASCII, hex, decimal or binary. Particular records with a file or entire files can be easily encrypted or decrypted. One can easily load, alter and invoke frequently used commands, function keys and macros. Creating and executing files containing multiple commands of the editor of the present invention is facilitated. In addition, the user can access DDL dictionary files to create reports and to locate files. Finally, a user can create simple or compound queries for searching files through the user of IF <relational condition> THEN <desired action> in combination with the boolean logic functions AND, OR and NOT.
